Creating learning materials

Creating learning content

A quality educational experience is not only about good student-tutor and student-student interaction but also providing quality content using audio and video technologies. As a team we can help tutors design content and to find new and interesting ways of promoting learning.

Common techniques currently include:

  • Audio to PowerPoint slide - a very simple way of capturing the voice of an expert and overlaying it on PowerPoint slides.
  • Screen Capture (with audio) - a simple but effective method of taking a video of what you see on a part of your computer screen and accompanying it with your own audio narrative. The video can be of a web navigation, use of specialist software or anything that can be viewed on screen.
  • Using computerised quizzes and tests - to prompt reflection and self-assessment

All of these types of content can then be "wrapped up" in single website, resulting in a comprehensive learning package for your students.

Interactive content can also be developed to enhance traditional, blended and distance learning.
